Ecuador is ground zero in the battle to protect the Amazon Rain Forest. It is doing its part but will the global community help?
Oil workers lay an oil pipeline near Yasuni National Park in Orellana Province, Ecuador, on Tuesday,Oct. 13, 2009. Ecuador is seeking about $3 billion in revenue, almost half earlier government estimates, in a bid to keep oil inside Yasuni National Park rather than extract it. The Ishpingo-Tambacocha-Tiputini field contains an estimated 950 million barrels of oil.

Howard, a millennial working with such companies as Duke Energy’s REC Solar, is a dedicated environmentalist. To this end, his company gives 15% of its profits to helping. “Any company can do the same to protect the planet,” he says, noting that 400 people and 70 families are the locals that make up the Kichwa peoples.
“If they sell their land, they get a fraction of its true value,” says Howard. “And if their hunting lands are taken, they would become completely dependent on oil.”, in a video interview. “The community has been working for about 30 years since AGIP came to our territory. It’s an oil company, But this company, and others, are trying to condition our community to need its support.
Yasuní National Park is rich with biodiversity and the indigenous peoples there have widespread support among idealist like Alan Howard. But more is necessary and thus, the Ecuadorian government and the Kichwa people are appealing to the international community: Ecuador and its citizens are working to combat climate change but such a small nation with limited resources needs more focus.
